I found a working Redbox kiosk!

Holy shit! I found a working Redbox kiosk! I didn't think I would be able to find a working one this late into the game (3-4 months after they filed bankruptcy). I tested it, and I was able to "rent" a movie, but I never got a confirmation email or a pending transaction on my card. I was nervous/paranoid about using an active card and being billed later for emptying an entire kiosk, so I used an old inactive card and intentionally entered an invalid zip code, and it still worked. For some reason, the kiosk was not able to read cards if I swiped them. It only seemed to work if I used tap to pay.

Weird it wouldn't read the chip, my kiosk are reading the chip just fine.

Maybe chip does work just tap to pay is faster 🤷🏻‍♂️

So for free ?

[@CoreyFaure]

Yes, they are completely offline. The company dissolved and they will take any card with any details and spit out movies. It is impossible for them to charge you now that the server is dead. They don't store enough details to charge you later.
